Chapter 123: The whole village grows pumpkins together
"Okay, Grandpa Li, otherwise you go back first, let me think of a way, okay" Qingzhu can only use expediency.
"Hmph, little slippery head, I'll come back to you for seeds in a few days," Li Youfu said with a smile.
After sending away the old village chief Li Youfu, Qingzhu exhaled heavily, and hurriedly asked the system: "System, you have seen everything just now, what do you say, is there a cheaper pumpkin seed in the system commissary, if I buy more at one time, what is that, we are all so ripe, how about giving a discount?"
"Cheap seeds are available, but they have a longer maturation period," the system replied immediately.
"How long" Qingzhu's eyes lit up, and a long time was not a big problem.
"Depending on the environment, the ripening period is different, from as short as three months to as long as five months, and if you take good care of it, you will have a harvest in a short time, and if you are lazy, you are likely to have no harvest," the system continues.
"Well, what do you mean by taking good care?" Qingzhu asked again.
"The pumpkin seeds produced by the system need to be nourished by the Tao Sutra and the rootless spiritual water, after sowing, you must ensure that you recite the scriptures for half an hour every day, and you must water the rootless spiritual water once a week, and the rest, it's nothing, and it's not very troublesome," the system said lightly.
"Well, it's not a bother," Qingzhu asked.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, do you buy it or not," the system lazily urged.
"Brother System, tell me the price first" Qingzhu calculated the money in his hand, plus the previous and the current one, a total of three thousand yuan, which seems to be a lot, but it is not much.
Although the incense is good now, most of them are villagers under the mountain, and after burning incense, the money invested is only one or two yuan, and there is really not much income.
"Cheap pumpkin seeds, 5 yuan a piece, not counting courier fees and handling fees," the system replied.
Qingzhu calculated the account, and the money in his hand could buy more than 500 seeds, so Qingzhu immediately said to the system: "Okay, good, I bought it, and I bought all the money in my hand."
Qingzhu spends money very simply, anyway, with this amount of money, there is no need to think about upgrading the supernatural powers, and there is no need to think about building a quiet room, it is better to buy seeds.
After all, at the end of the year, Qingzhu did not eat less food sent by the villagers under the mountain.
People, you have to be grateful, don't you?
The next moment, the golden light flashed, Qingzhu's eyes flowered, and a cloth bag fell on Qingzhu's palm.
The bag is not big, the size of a palm, but it feels heavy, and when I open it, it is all pumpkin seeds.
At this moment, the system suddenly prompted: "Uh, host, I forgot to tell you just now, the pumpkin seeds used to be 20 yuan a piece, and now it is 5 yuan a piece, although the taste is the same as what you ate before, but when it is ripe, the pumpkin is not as huge as the one you grow in the Taoist temple, it will be smaller, therefore, the yield will be relatively low."
Qingzhu suddenly had a bad premonition, so he immediately asked: "I'll go, what do you mean by the system, how big can you grow?"
"Well, about a quarter the size of the original pumpkin," the system replied lightly.
When Qingzhu heard this, he rolled his eyes, and he was almost angry, this system is too pitiful
It used to cost 20 yuan a seed, but now it costs 5 yuan a seed, which seems to be cheaper, but as a result, the fruit is only a quarter of the original, which is no different from before, can this be called cheap?
"System, let me say what is good about you, you are a profiteer, I really obeyed you" Qingzhu was half dead.
However, the system didn't continue to ignore him at all.
Now that the money has been spent and the seeds have arrived, Qingzhu opened the bag, and there was a note in it with four big words written on it: Precautions.
The precautions are similar to what the system just said, that is, you must water the rootless spiritual water once a week, and you have to knock on the fish head and recite the wonderful sutra for half an hour every day.
Although it's a little troublesome, it's nothing for people like Qingzhu who have nothing to do.
After getting the pumpkin seeds, Qingzhu notified the village chief Li Youfu, Li Youfu was very happy, and the next morning, he gathered the villagers and found a flat place on the halfway of Qingyun Peak, ready to reclaim it and plant pumpkins.
Li Youfu also knows the laborer Qingzhu he is looking for, and he is still a young man in the village such as Lin Ergou and Brother Zhuzi.
The people in the mountains are the best at doing farm work, and soon all the pumpkin seeds are planted, and Qingzhu is not worried, every day he has to hold a huge fish-headed wooden fish to come here to chant the scriptures, and every week, he has to carry water to water the rootless spiritual water.
Half a month has passed, and all the pumpkins have grown buds and are thriving.
These days, in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, Qingzhu spends the rest of his time sitting here knocking wooden fish, reciting scriptures, and thinking about life.
At the same time, there are no less than a dozen batches of pilgrims from Qingsong Temple.
The pilgrims listened to the sound of the wooden fish and the sound of the green bamboo chanting the wonderful scriptures, and the mood of the pilgrims became extraordinarily comfortable
It is said that one morning, a group of people came up from the bottom of the mountain.
"Director Chen, look, this is it," a thirty-six or seventeen-year-old man said, pointing in the direction of the top of the mountain.
The man who spoke was supposed to be a guide, followed by a bearded man with a fat body.
The bearded director Chen looked up at the top of the mountain and said to the guide: "Are you sure that the scenery above meets the scene that we need for this play?"
The guide replied: "Director Chen, the photos we saw on the Internet before were taken by a reporter named Han Bin in the county, and he assured me that the photos were absolutely real and there were absolutely no special effects."
Director Chen nodded and said: "The place we are looking for must have mountains, rivers and Taoist temples, okay, since we are here, let's go up and have a look, if it looks okay, contact the local steward and use the venue."
"Don't worry, Director Chen. The guide patted his chest and smiled.
"Everyone follow me up the mountain, let's walk" Director Chen finished speaking, and then led a team of people up the mountain.
"Director Chen, this mountain road is steep enough, can this place be passable" At this time, a man with a thin face who looked like an assistant rushed over and asked.
"There is no modern thing, it's the best, don't worry about the lens will be goofy, I think it's good here, full of charm, shoot it."
The effect must be good, but I don't know if this mountain is safe or not, there won't be any beasts, hehe, such as a big bad wolf or something" Director Chen said with a casual smile.
"How can a wolf have a wolf, even if there is a wolf, we still have Cheng Xiaolong's martial arts instructor here, he is a person with real kung fu, with him, any beast can be beaten away by him" The thin-faced assistant said with a smile.
"Assistant Sun, you're deliberately killing me" A rather burly man stepped forward, patted Assistant Sun's shoulder, and said with a smile.
This burly man is around forty years old, with a square face, two sword eyebrows, and a mighty temperament.
Although everyone said this, they were actually joking in their hearts, and they didn't believe that there would be any wild animals on this mountain that could hurt people.
Cheng Xiaolong laughed a few times, patted his chest at Director Chen and said: "Director Chen, don't worry, even if there are wolves, it's nothing, ordinary little wolf cubs, for me Cheng Xiaolong, even if there is a bear blind, we can deal with it."
"Okay, okay, don't brag, let's say that what age is this, how can there be a bear blind" Director Chen laughed and shook his beautiful long hair.
As a result, as soon as Director Chen's words fell, the two young people who were walking in front of him suddenly screamed.
"Bear"
Seeing the two young men running all the way back, Director Chen angrily reprimanded: "How can there be bears on this mountain?"
Cheng Xiaolong, who was still patting his chest and bragging just now, immediately stepped forward and blocked everyone with his sturdy body, he looked up, then turned around and shouted: ", such a big black bear"
As soon as they heard this, everyone was about to run back, but as soon as there was a flower in front of them, a huge black bear slowly stood up from the bamboo forest.
It looked like a fluffy black hill
Except in movies with special effects, no one has ever seen such a big bear with their own eyes, and everyone is scared to move
Cheng Xiaolong even shouted: "Don't move, don't mess around."
A group of more than a dozen people collectively froze in place, motionless, for fear that the black bear would pounce and bite, as if time had stood still.
As a result, everyone was stunned to see that the bear actually raised its chubby paws and waved its hand at everyone, as if to say hello.
And the weirdest thing is that the black bear's fat face like a big basin also showed some gentle smiles
Soon, everyone saw a hen that looked like a leather ball, and came out of the black bear's side.
The hen also stared back at the crowd, which was a look at a group of fools, and then flicked her short tail, took small steps, made a gurgling sound, and followed the huge black bear up the hill leisurely.
Looking at the backs of a bear and a chicken, everyone looked at each other.
Director Chen was the first to wake up, and he asked the people around him: "Oh, I'll go, just now, what I saw was not an animal, it seemed to be a person, do you feel like this?"
"Yes, yes, we feel that way," the crowd said.
